Investigators are trying to determine how three cars collided this morning, killing a Union County man and injuring another motorist.

Oscar M. Hamby, 60, of Kenton, was pronounced dead on the scene after colliding with at least one of two cars.

Hamby was southbound on Rt. 31 about 5:37 a.m. and behind another southbound vehicle driven by Sarah Jackson, 36, of Mt. Victory.

Detectives aren’t saying what caused at least one of those cars to collide with northbound motorist Kaleb Nebel, 19, of West Mansfield.

Jackson and Nebel were taken to Memorial Hospital of Union County in Marysville and later transferred to Ohio State University’s Wexner Medical Center, where both were in serious condition this afternoon. A passenger in Jackson’s car, Marcus Jackson, 29, also of Mt. Victory, was not injured.

The speed limit along Rt. 31 is 55 mph, said Capt. Jeff Frisch, of the Union County sheriff’s office.
